Christian Eriksen replacement identified as Tottenham can hand Arsenal a transfer problem

We are still in the dark over when the Premier League will be back.

The UK remains in lockdown because of the coronavirus pandemic, meaning we have had no football for more than a month now.

And there is no end in sight, either.

That means we are having to make do with transfer speculation and talk over when and how the 2019/20 season will end.

We've got plenty of news in our round-up of all the biggest Tottenham stories from the past 24 hours below.

Spurs behind the scenes on transfers, Mourinho's training session and Levy backlash

Eriksen replacement

Giovani Lo Celso has filled a huge hole that Christian Eriksen left when he joined Inter Milan in the January transfer window.

But Tottenham will be sure to bolster their midfield options even further this summer, providing there are funds available to Jose Mourinho.

And there is a player who has been linked with a move to Spurs that would fit the bill in terms of replacing qualities the Dane possessed - David Brooks.

The Bournemouth man would bring an extra dimension to the Tottenham midfield.

We explore his attributes here.

Taking an Arsenal target

There was plenty of talk last summer over who would win the race to sign Dani Ceballos on loan from Real Madrid.

In the end the Spaniard chose Arsenal, although Tottenham's reported interest was never actually confirmed.

However, Spurs are being linked with the young midfielder again.

He hasn't exactly set the world alight at the Emirates, but Arsenal are thought to be keen on keeping hold of him.

So could Spurs make a move for him and give Arsenal problems as a result?

Striker targets

Tottenham have struggled up front when Harry Kane has been injured this season.

It is a problem Jose Mourinho must rectify in the summer transfer window.

Up front is an area that many clubs will be keen to address, however, so they could face fierce competition for any players that they might target.

Who would be the best players to bring in to ease the burden on Kane though?

We take a look at five options here.

Advantage Man United

One player Tottenham, among others, have been linked with is Victor Osimhen.

The young Nigerian forward has had a great season in Ligue Un with Lille, scoring 17 goals in 35 games.

And now he has a huge price tag on his shoulders - £94million - which would be enough to put most teams off.

Man United lead race for Osimhen

Manchester United and Arsenal have also been tipped to make a move and the Red Devils are the ones who could have an advantage when it comes to signing him.

Find out why above.
